1) Do you any difference between Aristotle's definition of Tragedy and Dryden’s definition of play?

About Aristotle's Poetics

1) Answer) I find difference between Aristotle's definition of tragedy and Dryden’s definition of the play .

definition :-

" Tragedy , then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; in language embellished with each kind of artistic ornament, the several kinds being found in separate parts of the play ; in the form of action, not of narrative; through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions . "

2) If you are supposed to give your personal predilection, would you be on the side of the Ancient or the modern? Please give reasons .

We can say that without roots, tree can't stand and without foundation building can't sustain . So, we can say that all are necessary for each other progress and newness is necessary to eachother .

3) Do you think the arguments presented in favour of the French plays and against English plays are appropriate ? (say for example, Death should not be performed as it is neither just not 'liely' image, displaying duel fight with blunted swords, thousands of soldiers marching represented as five on stage, mingling of mirth and serious , multiple plots etc. )

Dryden portrays the comparative merits and demerits of each in a clearer way . In this essay, as Neander, Dryden favours the violation of those three unities because it leads to the variety in the English plays and these unities have a narrowing and crumpling effects on the French plays, which are often betrayed into absurdities from which the English plays are free. The violation of unities helps the English playwright to present a livelier image of human nature .

4) What would be hour preference so far as poetic or prosaic dialogue are concerned in the play?

Poetic dialogues are in form of Blank Verse or Rhyme. So It gives a new charm. Poetic dialogues helpful to describes a important situations or incidents. Poetic dialogues pleases to reader or audience. Audience does not becomes bored while watching the play or reading the play.
